Spoonfed Preview: Strummerville at Inn on the Green

This is the kind of thing that Strummerville promotes – good music being put in front of some attentive ears to hopefully try and gain a wider audience. Strummerville is a registered charity that, in true Joe Strummer style, aims to help new artists and bands record and get more exposure. It reflects Joe’s legacy to music, as The Clash continue to influence young bands everywhere.

The charity helps young artists who otherwise would not have the means to normally progress their musical career.

Subba Culture review: Strummerville a Don Letts Film

“Letts said of his film, ‘In a cultural climate that feels like punk never happened, Strummerville (the film) serves as a timely reminder of a way forward. It worked back then and it can work again.’ To see Joe’s ethos in practice leaves you with a lump in your throat. As he said ‘Everybody has a story to tell,’ and this film explains how his organization helps a new generation tell theirs.” - read more …

The Independent, 13 August 2010

“He has made a short film to highlight the efforts of young bands that are still carrying the flame of Joe Strummer, thanks to backing from the charity Strummerville, set up in memory of the punk visionary and supported by friends including Damien Hirst and Billy Bragg. Bands such as The Riff Raff and Nimmo & The Gauntletts have benefited from Strummerville’s network of live events and rehearsal spaces. The otherwise exasperated Letts found himself ‘really encouraged by the project.”
